If it didn't say "discontinued" I'd suspect a scam :hmmm: A computer monitor is nowhere close to a TV. It lacks half the parts. What is your source? off air? cable? sat? VCR? DVD? | ||

| Maybe one of these two external tuners, but likely only a 720p picture using a LCD PC monitor instead of a TV.

Also, read the reviews. They may have a short life. [Edit] These are newer TVBox models from the same company. | ||

| For a computer monitor, the tuner will need a VGA or DVI-D output. Computer monitors can't handle interlace.
The tuner box needs to deinterlace or inverse telecine. |
